Abstract
Equally at home whether speaking before the Humanities Colloquium at Cedar City, Utah, the Nature Conservancy at Bend, Oregon, the Regional Newswriting Colloquium at Salt Lake City, or the Wyoming Outdoor Council at Sheridan, William (Bill) Kittredge has emerged over the past thirty years as one of the most prolific and outspoken exponents of the New West. He has edited or co-edited seven anthologies ranging in nature from Great Action Stories (1977) and Stories into Film (1979) to the monumental Montana compilation, The Last Best Place (1988) and The Portable Western Reader (1997). He is the author of two notable collections of short stories, The Van Gogh Field and Other Stories (1978) and We Are Not in This Together (1984), and his dozens of presently uncollected short stories have appeared in such magazines as Harper’s and Paris Review. During the mid-1980s he coauthored, with Steven M. Krauzer, a series of nine popular westerns known as the Cord novels, under the pseudonym Owen Rountree.
